Keywords

keywords

Required

Brand names, product names, libraries or phrases to find, e.g. "supabase", "Next.js" or "vector database". Hacker News, Bluesky, Lemmy and GitHub search full text; Mastodon and DEV have no keyless full-text search, so there the keyword is used as a hashtag/tag ("Next.js" → #nextjs).

Type:array

Sources

sources

Optional

Where to look. Hacker News (stories and comments), Bluesky (posts), Lemmy (posts and comments on large instances), Mastodon (hashtag timelines), GitHub (issues and pull requests), DEV (articles by tag).

Type:string[]

Default:

[
  "hackernews",
  "bluesky",
  "lemmy",
  "mastodon",
  "github",
  "devto"
]

Max mentions per source

maxResultsPerSource

Optional

Stop after this many mentions from each source (shared fairly between keywords, newest first). Each mention is one charged row.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:1000

Default:50

Look back (hours)

sinceHours

Optional

Only mentions created in the last N hours: 24 = one day, 168 = one week, up to 8,760 (one year).

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:8760

Default:168

Type:array

Include comments and replies

includeComments

Optional

Also return Hacker News comments, Lemmy comments and Bluesky/Mastodon replies. Off = top-level stories and posts only.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Bluesky sort

blueskySort

Optional

Type:string

Default:latest

Options:

latesttop

Bluesky language

blueskyLanguage

Optional

Only Bluesky posts tagged with this language, as an ISO code like en, de, ja or pt. Empty = all languages.

Type:string

Bluesky author

blueskyAuthor

Optional

Only Bluesky posts by this handle, e.g. bsky.app or yourbrand.com (useful to track your own account's posts).

Type:string

Lemmy instances

lemmyInstances

Optional

Lemmy servers to search (federated, so each sees most public communities; duplicates are merged). Each instance's robots.txt and Crawl-delay are respected: lemmy.world allows one request per minute, so many keywords make runs slower.

Type:array

Default:

[
  "lemmy.world",
  "lemmy.ml",
  "programming.dev",
  "sh.itjust.works"
]

Mastodon instances

mastodonInstances

Optional

Mastodon servers whose public hashtag timelines are read (each also sees federated posts; duplicates are merged).

Type:array

Default:

[
  "mastodon.social",
  "fosstodon.org",
  "hachyderm.io"
]

GitHub token (optional)

githubToken

Optional

A free GitHub personal access token (no scopes needed) raises GitHub's search limit from 10 to 30 requests per minute. Without one, GitHub is searched keyless and skipped with a note if its shared limit is hit.

Type:string

Only new since last run (monitor mode)

newSinceLastRun

Optional

For scheduled runs: skip mentions already delivered by an earlier run with the same keywords and sources, so you only get (and pay for) new ones. Only hashed IDs are kept, in a key-value store named dev-community-mentions-state in your account.

Type:boolean

Default:false
